Paraschos was founded by Evangolos Paraschos in 1998. Evangolos has Greek roots but has worked as a winemaker in San Floriano (Gorizia) with other producers since 1979. Here he has learned to make wine in line with the ancient ways in which wine has been made. in the Collio and Vipacco valleys. The main philosophy is to make "healthy" wines that are only made from grapes that are grown in a sustainable way in relation to nature. No chemically produced preparations, green grows wild between the grape vines and it is only plowed in the winter when needed. Fertilization can occur but only with organic fertilizer. They built a new Cantina which was completed in 2003 and no yeast culture has ever been brought in here. All grapes are picked by hand, brought into the cantina where they are de-stalked and placed in open wooden barrels or amphora for skin maceration and fermentation. This is done without temperature control and without the supply of sulphites.

After a given time, the grapes are pressed and placed in large used oak barrels or Amphora for ripening.The grapes with a thin skin (tokai / friulano) typically have 1 week of skin maceration, but those with thicker skin usually have 3 weeks of maceration. However, this depends very much on the vintage and what kind of temperature it is when the grape is harvested. Amphora jars are burned on clay from Crete. Bee wax is melted into the jars from local bees in Collio and when fermentation / maceration is finished in these jars, the grapes are pressed carefully and everything minus the skin and pulp is put back on the jars, and then covered with a layer of bee wax. However, they leave a small hole in the middle of the wax mold on top so they can stir up the berm / yeast residue regularly.
